| deserve to be taken care of. One was deliberate
| ly stolen some years since from its place near
Ruhs Church. Another is used as doorsill at
house the N. G. R. R., at Oakland Station,
and still another is badly mutilated, the top being
completely broken off, near Steltzs Church. There

which will be duly reported in my next.
The political ght in the 9th district is just get
ting too warm for comfort. Both factions are put

Wanted TO Buy Another Mans Wife,
On Monday last Orville French, of Hampden, Falls
| road went before Justice Dorsey and swore out a
warrant for the arrest of William Poteet, charg-
| ing him with improper conduct towards his wife.
| He was taken to the Waverly station-house and
on Tuesday morning had a hearing before Justice
| Dorsey. 1t appears that Poteet, who boarded
with the French family, had made Mrs. French
many handsome presents Among other things,
| he had given her silk dress, which cost him 500
and other costly articles of apparel On Monday
he asked Mrs. French to elope with him. She not
only Indignantly refused, but went at once and
told her husband. who swore out the warrant for
| Poteet's arrest. When French confronted him at
Squire Dorseys office he soundly upbraided Po-
| teet for his conduct.
"See-here, French" said Poteet, "now we can
settle this matter amicably. will give you $500
cash for your wife, and here's the money"
As Poteet said this he pulled out big roll of
notes and offered it to French. French indignant
ly refused the offer, and Mrs. French, who was
standing by with her baby in her arms, told Po-
\ teet she never wanted to see him again. They
did not, however, care to prosecute Poteet, and
the magistrate dismissed the case, upon the con-
dition that Poteet should leave the neighborhood,
which he promised to do. POteet is a cookbook
ing man, six feet tall and came from Hartford
county. lie had boarded with French for several
months. He was soldier in the late war and re-
| ceives pension. He is the same man who was
arrested last February charged with the larceny Of

| of so bushels of wheat which Mr.. Parks sent him
| to Baltimore to sell.
